SAN DIEGO (AP) – Batman and Superman engaged in an epic staring contest at Comic-Con.
The first footage from the Warner Bros. superhero mashup “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” was unmasked Saturday at the pop-culture convention.
“It’s a little teaser,” director Zack Snyder told a crowd of 6,500 inside the San Diego Convention Center. “It’s a teeny little thing.”
The moody, dimly lit footage began with a heavily armored Batman pulling off a tarp and turning on the Bat Signal on a rainy rooftop. With glowing eyes, the bulky Batman looked up to the sky to see a steely Superman – his heat vision just beginning to flare up – hovering within the light and looking down at the Dark Knight.
That was it.
